Good for Levin to stand up for Sarah.
I would vote for Palin in a second, but worry that she may not be the right candidate to win this time because of the negative image that has been manufactured.
Read an anti-Palin column today in the WSJ that seems to confirm my fears — “The Problems with Palin”, by Stassel.
Key quote:
“The stakes in 2012 are high. Mr. Obama is a sitting president. It will take a mighty GOP nominee (not to mention a lot of luck) to knock him off. Mrs. Palin would come into this race with little or no infrastructure, a near complete lack of a policy agenda, and eye-popping unfavorables. Nothing is impossible in politics, but her start is not encouraging.”

Many Presidents have come and gone during my lifetime. Some we’ve had to endure, others have been a blessing to our nation. The current occupant of the Whitehouse would rank among the former. If Sarah Palin has “eye-popping unfavorables,” then this nation is further down the road to ruin than at any time in our history!
Professor, you need to get of campus a little more often.
